Chris Wilkes Garden

When you explore the spacious Ruskin grounds, you will come across the beautiful Chris Wilkes Garden, a unique Grade II-listed eighteenth-century walled garden.

You are welcome to join our Crinkle Crankle Club, a joint project between students and the community. Together we look after the garden and its fruit trees, herbs and vegetables.

We restored the garden in 2009, re-creating the terraces and repairing the crinkle crankle wall, named after its zigzag design that maximises the surface area exposed to the sun.

You can find out lots more on the Crinkle Crankle Club Facebook page.
